Nick Chapman graduates from film school, and his short film wins a special prize. This gives him a high enough profile that he can get Hollywood to back the film he has long dreamed of making. Studio exec Allen Habel is interested. But Nick soon is seduced by Hollywood and makes one concession after another until his original movie is lost altogether. Worse, Nick is lost, too, turning on girlfriend Susan and old buddy Emmet. Will he come to his sense before everything is lost? 　　译文(2): 尼克 · 查普曼从电影学院毕业，他的短片获得了特别奖。这给了他足够高的知名度，他可以让好莱坞支持他长期以来梦想制作的电影。工作室主管艾伦 · 哈贝尔对此很感兴趣。但是尼克很快就被好莱坞吸引了，他做出了一个又一个的让步，直到他的原创电影完全丢失。更糟糕的是，尼克也迷失了，背叛了他的女朋友苏珊和老朋友埃米特。他会在失去一切之前恢复理智吗？
